A Spatial Guide AA SSppaattiiaall GGuuiiddee August 2011 Executive Summary Introduction 1. This Spatial Guide is a non-statutory planning document and has three main purposes: a. To set out a spatial interpretation of other Pennine Lancashire wide strategies, focussing on the area’s geography and the roles of places. b. To complement the economic focus of the Multi Area Agreement by considering environmental issues and recognising the potential conflict between economic growth and environmental protection. c. To provide a framework to guide Pennine Lancashire authorities’ spatial planning activity and to help align their Local Development Frameworks. 2. Pennine Lancashire as an economic footprint comprises the Boroughs of Blackburn with Darwen, Hyndburn, Burnley, Ribble Valley, Pendle and Rossendale. Covering an area of over 120,000 hectares, and home to over half a million people, the sub- region is located to the east of Preston and to the north of the Manchester City Region. Pennine Lancashire does not have one dominant town, rather it comprises of a rich array of various settlements, all with important and complementary roles to play in the future of the area. 3. Spatially, Pennine Lancashire consists of three major areas defined by physical geography, economic history, and relationships to places elsewhere: a “central belt” of industrial-revolution towns along the M65 corridor running through Blackburn to Colne; the largely rural Ribble Valley to the north; and Rossendale to the south with strong links to Manchester. Although bound together by economic linkages, their physical setting and a number of shared challenges, the three areas also have different characteristics and present different opportunities. • M65 corridor towns typically present a mixture of attractive and affluent areas with areas of significant deprivation – often close to one another. • The Ribble Valley is a highly sought-after rural area which presents challenges in terms of housing affordability, both in its main settlements and in the more remote countryside. • Rossendale is most strongly influenced by its physical geography of steep sided valleys with the main settlements confined to valley floors. As well as these “core” characteristics the areas within Pennine Lancashire have a significant role as interfaces with surrounding areas: Rossendale with Greater Manchester; Ribble Valley with Yorkshire, Lancaster and Preston; the M65 corridor with Yorkshire to the west, Preston to the east and Manchester to the south. This geography strongly influences the roles of places and the context within which investment and development takes place. Pennine Lancashire Spatial Guide: August 2011 1 4. To address the challenges and opportunities faced by Pennine Lancashire, the Spatial Guide covers four key areas: “Economic Regeneration”; “Rebalancing the Housing Market”; “Accessibility and Connectivity”; and “A High Quality Environment – Green Infrastructure”. These are closely linked, and the interventions and projects in each of the areas will need to be delivered in a coordinated manner to achieve the economic transformation of Pennine Lancashire. Economic Regeneration 5. Pennine Lancashire retains a strong manufacturing base and whilst the sector accounts for a smaller proportion of total employment than historically, it remains a significant sector and key economic strength in the sub-region. Aerospace, advanced manufacturing, advanced flexible materials, digital and creative industries all feature strongly in the area’s economy and are nationally important. However despite Pennine Lancashire’s strengths the area is underperforming and GVA per head is around £4,000 less than nationally. 6. In order to enhance Pennine Lancashire’s competitiveness and to support the transformation of its economy, we have identified a series of strategic employment development sites. These sites are of varying scales but all will make a significant contribution to Pennine Lancashire’s transformation objectives. It is essential that the area offers a varied portfolio of sites in order to attract new businesses and investors to the area and to provide opportunities for growing local businesses to relocate within the area. Economic Regeneration – Key Spatial Interventions Knowledge Based Investment in Town Smaller sites that will make an important Centres: contribution to Pennine Lancashire’s overall • Blackburn Knowledge Zone offer: • Burnley Education and Enterprise Zone • Spinning Jenny Park (Oswaldtwistle) • Prospects Environmental Business Park Major Town/Gateway Employment Sites: (Church) • Weavers Triangle (Burnley) • Brierfield Mills (Pendle) • Pennine Gateway (Blackburn) • West Craven Business Park (Pendle) • Rawtenstall Town Centre (Rossendale) • Primrose Mill (Clitheroe) • New Hall Hey (Rossendale) • Clitheroe Town Centre • Rising Bridge Office Park (Haslingden) Strategic Business Parks: • Futures Park (completion of) (Bacup) • Lantern Park, Whitebirk (Hyndburn, but adjacent to Blackburn town) • Burnley Bridge (Burnley) • Michelin (Burnley) • Huncoat Power Station (Hyndburn) • Junction 7 Business Park (Hyndburn) • Riverside Business Park (Pendle) • Barrow Brook Business Park (Ribble Valley) Rebalancing the Housing Market 7. Pennine Lancashire’s housing market is dominated by pre-1919 terraced properties that comprise almost 50% of the total stock, and 12.8% of the sub-region’s housing stock is deemed unfit. The housing stock fails to meet the needs of families. Larger detached family and “executive” housing is under provided for which restricts the area’s ability to retain and attract higher wage earners. Pennine Lancashire Spatial Guide: August 2011 2 8. A number of “strategic areas of change” have been identified as focuses for housing development. In very broad terms these can be categorised as growth areas i.e. providing homes for higher wage earners in more attractive locations to support economic growth, or renewal areas i.e. diversifying the offer and rebalancing the market in inner urban areas, or possibly as a mixture of the two 1. Rebalancing the Housing Market – Key Spatial Interventions Areas of focus for housing to support growth: Areas of focus for renewal in inner urban • Northern Outer Area of Blackburn areas : • SW Outer Area of Blackburn • Inner Blackburn • Haslingden Road Corridor (Blackburn) • Burnley Weavers’ Triangle • East Darwen • Burnley Wood (Burnley) • Spinning Jenny Park Oswaldtwistle – mixed use • South West Burnley development (Hyndburn) • Daneshouse, Duke Bar and Stoneyholme • Huncoat (Colliery Site) (Burnley) • Locations around M65 Junction 14 (Pendle) • Darwen Town Centre and Inner Urban Area • West Craven towns (Pendle) • Accrington and the Town Centre (Hyndburn) • Rawtenstall (Rossendale) • Bacup (Rossendale) • Cowpe (Rossendale) • Whitworth (Rossendale) Areas of change for both renewal and growth: • M65 Junction 12 – Brierfield area (Pendle) • M65 Junction 13 – Nelson and Barrowford (Pendle) • Haslingden (Rossendale) • Rishton – Clayton-Le-Moors Canal Corridor Accessibility and Connectivity 9. In order to realise its economic potential, Pennine Lancashire needs to improve transport connections with neighbouring city regions, as well as ensuring that employment opportunities, facilities and services within the sub-region are accessible to everyone living here and can be reached by sustainable travel modes. A number of transport schemes have been identified to improve accessibility and connectivity. 10. In addition to enhancing transport connections, improving digital connectivity is a key priority for Pennine Lancashire. Central to this is achieving the widespread take-up and use of Next Generation Access (NGA) (high speed) broadband by all in the sub- region. Achieving 100% coverage will require public sector investment but will result in significant social and economic benefits for residents and businesses. Accessibility and Connectivity – Key Spatial Interventions Improving connectivity within Pennine Lancashire: • Pennine Reach Quality Bus Scheme • M65 Congestion Measures Improving links with Greater Manchester: • Reinstatement of Todmorden Curve to provide direct rail services from Burnley to Manchester. • Improvements to Clitheroe – Manchester rail link • Establishment of commuter service on East Lancashire Railway to provide a service from Rawtenstall to Manchester 1 Ribble Valley is not currently in a position to identify broad areas for housing development as these will emerge through consultation on its Local Development Framework. Pennine Lancashire Spatial Guide: August 2011 3 Improving links with Yorkshire: • A56 Villages Bypass • Reinstatement of Colne-Skipton Railway Green Infrastructure 11. Pennine Lancashire is fortunate to possess a highly attractive natural environment, including the open countryside it is set within, and the open spaces within the towns. Together these form the area’s “green infrastructure” – networks of spaces including formal parks, gardens, woodlands, green corridors, waterways, street trees and open countryside. 12. The Pennine Lancashire authorities will work together to ensure that the potential of the area’s green infrastructure to attract people and businesses to the area is realised, whilst at the same time protecting and enhancing special habitats and managing resources sustainably. 13. The recreational potential of Pennine Lancashire’s landscape setting will also be further enhanced, with the Adrenaline Gateway and Panopticon Trail demonstrating how this can be achieved.

  • A.L.L. S.A.F.E. ALLSAFE ALLSAFE Was Implemented to Combat the Upsurge in Anti Social Behaviour in the Wai Ms Ley Close Area of Accrington
    Lancashire Constabulary The Tilley Award 2003 Category: Partnership A.L.L. S.A.F.E. ALLSAFE ALLSAFE was implemented to combat the upsurge in anti social behaviour in the Wai ms ley Close area of Accrington. Hyndburn Council Community Wardens and CBW have first identified this, which was further evidenced by the rise in the number of Police incidents being reported. A letter drop to 70 residents revealed the main concerns were that the area was run down, insufficient household security, the streets were badly lit, which contributed to a greater "fear of crime' factor. Anti-Social behaviour was rife, they identified that most offenders were congregating around 2 problematic addresses. To combat the problems, ALL-SAFE commenced in September 2002. The Police, Social Services, Wardens, Housing and Maundy Grange Charity joined forces to deal with the 2 addresses and their associate problems, to either re-integrate the occupants or, as eventually occurred, to re-locate them. Juvenile nuisance immediately reduced dramatically. Once the occupants left, so did the problem youths. Fear of crime was tackled by encouraging the charity 'Age Concern' to embrace the project. Funding was obtained resulting in all elderly residents in the area having free security devises installed in their houses (alarms, door locks, chains, window locks.) 'Community E-mail*, was introduced, in order to improve reassurance. Funding for email telephones, installed in homes in the Close, was obtained, and encourages "involvement*. The system was so successful that it was extended throughout Hyndburn. A media campaign promoted our work in the area, and challenged other agencies to get involved.

  • Streetscene Enforcement Policy
    Streetscene Enforcement Policy INTRODUCTION Burnley Burough Council wants to make the Borough a place where the streets and open spaces are clean, safe and well, maintained. Sustainable lifestyles will be promoted which emphasise waste minimisation, recycling and respect for the environment. It is the aim of the Council to protect the public and the environment and promote health, safety and welfare and enhance the quality of life of all residents, workers and visitors to the Borough. This will be achieved by education, providing advice and by regulating the activities of others. Enforcement action will play an important role in helping the Council to secure compliance with regulatory requirements. The Council will work with other regulators, such as the Environment Agency and Central Government to ensure co-ordinated and cohesive regulation. The Council will seek to share good practise and local intelligence with appropriate enforcing bodies. The Council will also work with community and voluntary groups in order to achieve common goals. The Council views prosecution as a last resort and will seek to prevent rather than remediate. The Council will offer information, advice and education in order to secure co-operation, avoiding bureaucracy or excessive cost. The policy will set out what residents, businesses and the community can expect from Streetscene Enforcement Officers. It sets out the general principles, which the Council intends to follow when taking enforcement action. More detailed, operational guidance may be developed for staff in respect of specific functions. The policy commits the Council to good enforcement policies and practises. PURPOSE The purpose of enforcement action is to ensure that preventative or remedial action is taken to protect the public and the environment or to secure compliance with a regulatory system.
